Just as action on the pitch hots up with the domestic seasons now well underway, the transfer market continues to churn, with clubs eager to complete their business without a last-minute scramble on Deadline Day.

Here are five of the biggest stories from 22 August 2022.

Casemiro confirmed

Manchester United previously announced they're struck an agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of Casemiro, but the deal was officially confirmed before the Red Devils' 2-1 win over rivals Liverpool.

The Brazilian has signed a four-year deal at Old Trafford after saying an emotional goodbye to Los Blancos.

Arsenal in for Neto

Arsenal have already completed plenty of summer business, but their spending isn't necessarily over.

The Gunners have been linked with a move for Wolves winger Pedro Neto, but how well would he fit in at The Emirates?

Barcelona need cash for Kounde

Barcelona have already completed the signing of Jules Kounde from Sevilla, but they haven't yet been able to register him.

If the process doesn't happen before 31 August, he can walk for free. A number has been reported for how much they need to register the Frenchman.

Pulisic to stay at Chelsea

Chelsea's USMNT star Christian Pulisic has been linked with a move to Manchester United as an alternative to Antony.

However, reports have said he will now not be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.

Aubameyang close to Chelsea move

Chelsea have crept closer to completing the signing of Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabon international will provide competition for Kai Havertz in the Chelsea squad.
